Welcome to my new site. I have started a new project, making hats, blankets and some clothing for the Preemies in the NICU. They are in need of hats to keep their body heat in, blankets to help the parents feel more comfortable with this tiny person that is here too early, and clothing that is made in their hard to find sizes. All the patterns are designed by me. If you like them and use them frequently, enter a donation. All money will be used on the babies. Thank you for visiting.

Post Stitch Cuddle Sac

Here is the pattern for the Post Stitch Cuddle Sac as promised. I finished it last night.
Fpdc - front post dc stitch.
Row 1: Chain 5 and join to first chain. Chain 3, 11 dc in circle. (12 dc)

Row 2: Chain 3, dc in same st, *2 dc in next st.* around. End join to top of ch 3. (24 dc)

Row 3: Chain 3, Fpdc in next dc, *2 dc in next stitch, Fpdc in next st*. around. Join to top of ch 3. (36 dc)

Row 26 & 27: Ch 3. Do a decrease dc on next two st. Dc in each stitch until last 3 st. In next 2 st do decrease dc, dc in last st. Turn.

Row 28: Sc around top of row and around front v. Join with a sl st. Cut and hide tails. Fold down corners on front only. Make a chain of 150 ch, hiding ends. Weave chain in and out on the 24th row, grabbing the corner of each section that is folded down. Ribbon can also be used.

This is also a very easy pattern. Hat measures 4 1/2 inches, sac measures 10 1/2 inches. I used Bernat Softee Baby Yarn, # 3 Lite, 4.25 oz skein, with a size G or 6 crochet hook. You can use the first three rows and make any pattern on this. Just remember we are still looking for help making items.
